davidlallen Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 There is a nearby, recent thread with the exact same subject line. Please try the solution there and let us know if it works. http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/256385-geck-window-problem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidlallen Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Let us track down how this happens. The other times I have seen this posted, it is because the user had a higher screen resolution, made the window larger, saved and exited; then later used a lower screen resolution. Is this how it happened to you? If so does temporarily going back to the higher resolution, resizing the window and saving, clear the problem? In many cases, the dialog box can be resized in Windows, by moving the edges of the dialog box. Does this work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidlallen Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have reproduced this for this particular dialog, the weapon dialog. It is not resizeable, and you can only move it by the top handle. It is something over 768 pixels tall. If your vertical screen resolution is 768, you *cannot see the ok, cancel buttons*, period. This is another geck bug which needs to be fixed. As a workaround, with any windows dialog including this one, you can hit the "escape" key to cancel, or the "return" key to accept. I do not think there are any other "unreachable" widgets. Can you do what you need, using these two keys instead of the buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 The solution here is to increase your screen resolution. If that can't be done, then don't use the G.E.C.K. on your laptop. Learn to use FNVEdit instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlallen Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 IMHO my suggestion of "use ESC or Enter" is better than either "geck doesn't need to support small screens" or "use fnvedit". Of course your mileage may vary, but this bug makes geck one of the few programs on the market to *require* a certain vertical screen height.

Quetzlsacatanango Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Try hitting alt, then space, then mUse your arrow keys to move the window until you can see the buttons. You could also try hiding your taskbar, I can't remember if you can do that in win7 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
